Quote:Half my point was that you *don't* have that right.Before we get into who's right and who's wrong, let's mull over an example. Ever wonder why Jefferson Davis was never actually tried, much less convicted, on the charge of treason for presiding over the Confederate States of America, even though he'd been indicted?
Nowhere in the constitution does it say you can take up arms against the government. That's in the declaration of independence, and I'm afraid that has absolutely no legal weight whatsoever.
Rebellion is treason in your country. Your government will, depending on the threat you pose, kill or imprison you for it, just like every other nation would. And they would be within the law to do so.
This is an entirely fictional "right". It's mythology, not law.

Edit: clarification.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
